Rayne Ames

Rayne is a young man with blonde hair on the right side of his head and black hair on the left side, light yellow eyes and two magic marks on his face; Which are located under his left and right eye. He wears the usual Easton Magic Academy uniform, which consists of a long-sleeved, button-up white shirt, a black robe and a red tie along with black pants and brown shoes. Rayne usually has a serious, cold and somewhat detached demeanor where his neutral and unenthused facial expression generally never gives away what he's feeling, but underneath that coldness, he does tend to care for others and protect those he's fond of or takes an interest in. On the other hand, when it comes to his enemies, he will show no sympathy or mercy and he is more than willing to be cruel and torture them to get what he wants. Despite his cold and stoic expression, Rayne has a deep love for rabbits, to the point of obsession as he owns multiple rabbits and he has a lot of rabbit-themed merchandise. Little is known about Rayne's origins, but at some point in time, he was born into the Ames Family alongside his younger brother, Finn Ames. Their parents sadly passed away when they were very young, so little Rayne and Finn were often moving around since none of their relatives wished to house the orphans. They were homeless and struggled to survive every single day. At some point, he began attending Easton Magic Academy and despite his young age, he has made considerable strides since his enrollment, becoming one of the school's top students. As he went through the hardships as orphans with his little brother, he aspired to be a Divine Visionary to change how the world works and set a better world where orphans like them could live in peace. Rayne is first introduced within a newspaper article where he is depicted standing in front of a group of reporters with the announcement to the public that due to his stellar achievements over the past school year, he has now become the new Divine Visionary of Easton Magic Academy. Due to these achievements, he is elevated to the rank of nobility and given a hefty sum of money as a reward. Rayne is later seen returning to the Easton Magic Academy after briefly taking a short trip away with Headmaster Wahlberg Baigan promptly requesting by letter that he is to immediately check the basement of the school, which the latter does begrudgingly. Once arrived, he discovers and saves the tired and wounded Dot Barrett and Finn Ames, both of whom were trapped underground and nearing the end of their rope after Dot's fight against Love Cute - the Fifth Fang of the Magia Lupus. Rayne makes quick work of Milo Genius the Fourth Fang who had previously revealed himself and had almost finished both of the first years off, catching him off guard and breaking through his spell instantly. Now battered and bruised and struck with newfound fear, the Fourth Fang attempts to talk his way out of his predicament while trying to launch a secret attack, but to no avail and it ends quickly with Rayne telling him not to waste his time. Rayne then proceeds to summon numerous swords, raining them all down on the Fourth Fang who is shocked due to Rayne's prowess despite him being a student just like them. Seeing that there is no hope for victory, the Fourth Fang tries to ask for forgiveness for his actions, but Rayne shows him no mercy and kicks him repeatedly, stating that the only way for scum like him to actually learn their lesson was through pain, pain so excruciating that he'll never make the same mistake twice. He turns around and tells Finn and Dot to leave while he continues his torture to find out more information. After getting the information he needed, Rayne once again sets off down to the dark corridors of the dungeon to continue his investigation on Innocent Zero before he soon has his first encounter with Mash Burnedead. He feels the immense pressure surrounding him and at first suspects Mash of being an enemy, immediately taking a fighting stance and attacking him with a sword, which Mash stops with just two fingers. Growing suspicious, Rayne increases his magic output to 3% and then to 10% to test Mash's strength. When Mash blocks all of his attacks, Rayne asks for his name and immediately recognizes it as that of the one student whom the Headmaster told him to look out for. After giving him a magical handkerchief (covered in cute bunnies) to heal his wounds, Rayne tells him that if he aims to become a Divine Visionary without magic he's going to have a difficult time, but if he beats Abel Walker, he'll be one step closer to becoming a candidate for the position. He tells Mash that he would like to have at least one strong ally in a world with a never-ending list of problems and that if he aims to be Visionary then he needs to do it even if it kills him. The pair part ways shortly thereafter with Rayne remarking that if Mash wants to become a Divine Visionary without any magic, he's going to have to prove himself to be greater than any magic user. When Mash is discovered by the Academy for being unable to use magic and is put on trial to decide his fate, Rayne appears with the Headmaster and requests for the first year to be pardoned, stating that Mash has proven himself to be trustworthy. During the Eclipse Arc, Rayne played a crucial role in the battle against Innocent Zero, having battled and defeated Delisaster alongside his brother Finn. At first, Rayne attempted to battle Delisaster alone, using his Partisan swords to keep Finn pinned to the wall and out of the fight, as he wanted to finish things while keeping his brother out of harm's way. Delisaster would prove to be much too strong of an opponent for Rayne to handle alone, however, and after Finn unlocked the power to use his Secondth in a moment of desperation, Rayne realized he wasn't the same scared child he remembered from their youth, and accepted his aid in the battle. Combining both of their forces, the two then successfully defeated Delisaster. Later on during the invasion of Innocent Zero's castle, Rayne would go on alongside Finn to rescue Lance Crown and Dot Barrett from Doom just moments before he could kill them. After their attack, Doom was forced to move up to using 50% of his power, allowing him to battle against them with very little effort, the two of them in turn needing to be rescued by Orter Madl just moments later. The three attempted to battle Doom together, but their efforts were largely in vain, as Doom easily defeated them, the three being narrowly saved by the appearance of Ryoh Grantz and later Mash Burnedead.
